39 Week Pregnancy Update
4:45 PM
One week from my due date. But my doctor doesn't think I'll make it to 40 weeks.
Could this really be my last pregnancy update!? I am so glad I documented all of this. I've already started looking back at posts because I couldn't remember when certain things happened in my pregnancy. Soon enough I'll be making monthly baby updates. I considered buying a baby book to keep all of her firsts in, but I think the blog will do just fine. I can print it out in book form if I need a physical copy.
Warning TMI!
The ball has officially started rolling. I am showing signs that labor is imminent.
- Plenty of Braxton Hicks contractions and lots of cramping. Maybe even actual contractions...I'm not sure.
- I've lost my mucus plug. (Sounds so gross!)
- Very loose stool...
- Nesting! I can't stop cleaning.
How far along: 39 weeks!
Gender: GIRL!
Weight gain: I've lost a pound this week, which means I've gained a total of 30 pounds.
Symptoms: Nothing too new. I have a lot of pelvic pressure since she dropped. I'm having mild cramps, but no real contractions yet.
Belly button in or out: Out.
Sleep: Falling asleep is the worst. I can never get comfortable! But once I do fall asleep I can stay asleep. I don't have to get up to pee every hour.
Best moment this week: At my doctors appointment today my doctor told me I am almost 2 cm dilated, 75% effaced and baby is at -2 station. She thinks I'll have the baby in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed she's right.
Worst moment this week: Robby working nonstop. I want to spend time together just the two of us before Little B gets here.
Miss anything: My husband.
Movement: Nonstop. I'm worried that she will be the same way when she comes out, which means I really won't be getting any sleep.
Cravings: Nope
Looking forward to: Giving birth and meeting this little human I've carried for the past 10 months.
